top u..s commander in hot water

God forbid someone be honest. He shouldn't backtrack. He is on the money. Get the hell out of there.

Love some of the quotes

McChrystal described his first meeting with Obama as disappointing and said that Obama was unprepared for the meeting.


National Security Advisor Jim Jones is described by a McChrystal aide as a “clown” stuck in 1985.


Others aides joked about Biden’s last name as sounding like “Bite me” since Biden opposed the surge.

After Obama gives him his a$$kicking, reading a prepared statement, he's gone.

Maybe he wanted to be canned. I mean you have to know the way this plays out when you give the interview.

Why you would insert this about the Gulf into a thread about Afghanistan is a bit puzzling, but hey, we all know how classy you are

BTW, turns out the petro-geek blog Mother Jones (not Rolling Stone) was copying and sending around to try and verify about the well casing being compromised is ... looking pretty accurate this morning.

I hope your own personal indicators of the extent of damage caused by the oil spill - your swimming pool and gas grill - are okay.

in our area they oil has not hit the beaches as hard as others..i know that because i live here.. and didnt read it on some link..now how about obamas total mis handling of the event..

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

he'd retire with class.

hes got more class and sevice to this country in his pinky finger than the
prez will ever have..

you dont become a 4 star general unless you put your time in like 35 years or so and be elected by congress

not like the current prez who slinked in on the race card..has like 6 years of exp total..and is sooooooooo classy..oh

that must be... While I dont agree with the top commander in Afghanistan publically saying that stuff about the administration (this type of stuff should happen behind close doors).. I dont doubt at all that all of the stuff he said was true.

As time passes and it becomes increasingly clear that President Obama is not fit to be a US President (and before all you dumbocrats comeback with "oh George Bush! - he ALSO wasnt fit to be a US President - and Obama hasnt done any better)

Looking back to the election in November 2008 and the primaries before it, I am not ashamed to admit that I now feel Hillary Clinton was the best choice for President. I feel she would be doing about 1,000 times better than Obama.. and a solid 750 times better than McCain if he was elected (I still feel McCain was a better choice than Obama - too many people let Palin influence their feelings for McCain, when the VP doesnt really do anything anyway)

Couldn't agree more. She was my early choice for the Dems before the real primary season began because I'd liked her for yeaaaaaaaars, but I got sucked into Obama fever throughout the campaign, and wasn't going to vote for anyone who brought Sarah Palin along on the ticket in a million years (especially when the Prez is 70 years old, no way I'm taking ANY chance on that idiot landing herself in the White House by accident), so naturally I supported Obama. But he's been a pretty significant letdown to me so far.

But I'd take Clinton any day and have always liked her.

What exactly do you think would be better at this point with Hillary as president?
I worked hard for the Obama campaign, and I'm still glad I did. Does the administration disappoint me quite frequently? Of course. They all do. But I am still damn sure that a McCain administration would disappoint me a whole lot more often than the Obama administration ever does.
As for Hillary, I think she would pretty much have made most of the same decisions on key issues that the Obama administration has done, so I don't think much would be different. The only thing that might be different would be on health care. Once the polls came out showing that the majority of Americans disapproved of the reform proposal she probably would have dumped it and moved on to something else. In my opinion she has relatively few actual convictions other than to do whatever polls tell her is the most popular (at least that is how she - and her husband - typically campaigned) and I seriously doubt she would have slugged it out for a year while her approval ratings were dropping weekly like Obama did. Especially after the '93 push and what followed in '94, I just can't see her doing that. But, of course, all of this is just pure conjecture.

As you said, it said that Obama was totally unprepared for the meeting. In addition, it said that McChrystal said that Obama didn't even know who he was. This upset McChrystal. He is a big General so he is obviously used to people knowing who he is. He was very disappointed when Obama appeared to have no idea who he was and appeared to know nothing about him.
